Aksara in Indian Writing System
Aksara is the unit of graphemic symbols in the Indian writing system which system having the knowledge of phonemes (consonants and vowels), syllables and words before adopting the Brahmi Script had opted for Aksara. Aksara is more a syllable-like unit for writing which requires the knowledge of syllables and the matra i.e. the measure of prosadic marking. In writing it stands for CV, CVV, CCV, CCVV, CCCV, CCCVV, V and VV where "C" stands for consonant, "V" for vowel and ""VV"" for very long vowel. It is a sub-syllabic representation which stands for onset, onset plus nucleus and nucleus alone, the coda part of a syllable goes into the next aksara in a word. Its nature favours the phonological mediation i.e. the non-lexical strategy of reading, which is the beginning with the Visual Analysis System and proceeding to the Aksara Recognition System and then to the Aksara sound Conversion System and the Phonological Assembly System before ending with the Response Buffer prior to reading aloud.

“As the global expansion of Indian and Chinese restaurants suggests, xenophobia is directed against foreign people, not foreign cultural imports.”
—Eric J. Hobsbawm (b. 1917)
“What is line? It is life. A line must live at each point along its course in such a way that the artist’s presence makes itself felt above that of the model.... With the writer, line takes precedence over form and content. It runs through the words he assembles. It strikes a continuous note unperceived by ear or eye. It is, in a way, the soul’s style, and if the line ceases to have a life of its own, if it only describes an arabesque, the soul is missing and the writing dies.”
—Jean Cocteau (1889–1963)
“UG [universal grammar] may be regarded as a characterization of the genetically determined language faculty. One may think of this faculty as a ‘language acquisition device,’ an innate component of the human mind that yields a particular language through interaction with present experience, a device that converts experience into a system of knowledge attained: knowledge of one or another language.”
—Noam Chomsky (b. 1928)
